Academic Pricing Policy

RStudio offers free, open source products for R that meet the needs of most educators, staff and students. We also offer a free plan for RStudio Cloud with 15 project hours per month that often meets the needs of students and a free shinyapps.io account for up to 5 shiny applications and 25 active hours per month.

For instructors and students who need more project hours or compute resources RStudio Cloud offers discounted individual self-service paid plans and customized organization plans for qualified academic institutions who want to enable many people to teach, learn, or do research.

In cases where qualified academic institutions prefer to install RStudio commercial products on their own servers (RStudio Workbench, RStudio Connect, RStudio Package Manager, or RStudio Team bundles), RStudio offers academic pricing. To qualify you must meet the Qualified Institution definition below and provide a school-issued email address during purchase. A school email address includes: .edu, .k12, and other email domains sponsored by your educational institution. For teaching purposes, a syllabus must also be submitted. If you do not have a school-issued email address or your email address cannot be verified, additional proof of eligibility may be requested after purchase. Click here to Contact Sales.
